Professional Staff

For nearly forty years, the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at UICOMP has been the forerunner in providing evidence-based mental health treatment, education, and prevention for the Greater Central Illinois area. The Center for Wellbeing aims to extend these services to professionals and professional organizations.

Debra Disney, MSEd, LCPC, is the Director of the Center for Wellbeing. She earned a clinical master’s degree in counseling from Southern Illinois University and is certified in Mind-Body Bridging, CBCT® (Cognitively-Based Compassion Training), and Cultivating Emotional Balance. Her passion is to merge evidence-based psychology with the wisdom of contemplative practices. This combination allows her to help others enhance individual resilience through personal and professional counseling and skill building.
